-====== Introduction to Capital Industry ====== 
- 
-So you've decided that mining barges and exhumers aren't enough anymore? Capital Industrial Ships (aka the Rorqual) might be the choice for you. Before you go undocking your 10-billion+ isk piƱata however, there's a few things that you need to understand first: 
- 
-  - Rorqual mining is a PVP activity, with long dull periods of PVE in between. In order to fly a Rorqual, you need a solid understand of siege mechanics, capital warfare, jump drive mechanics, drone combat, combat refitting, situational awareness and module management, as well as being able to use Mumble voice comms and relay relevant information to a responding FC. Failing to understand any of the above ** can and will ** lead to you loosing your Rorqual due to making an easily preventable mistake. 
-  - It's not a matter of ~if~, it's a matter of //when//. All ships eventually return to the cosmic dust from which they were built. If you think that just because you're mining in an off-TZ or are taking all the necessary precautions that you're safe from being tackled, then get ready to learn the hardest lesson Eve has to offer. 
-  - This is not a newbro-friendly activity. Capital industry is serious business. Every time a Rorqual dies in a situation that could have easily be prevented, it puts blood in the water and makes the activity more dangerous for every other pilot in the region. Nullsec capital warfare is a cruel mistress, and while competence can be rewarded, mistakes are punished immediately. Learn the mechanics, master them, and be ready for the day that you are the one that needs saving. 
- 
-If none of the above has dissuaded you into pursuing Dank Rorqual Ticks, then here's a few of the benefits: 
- 
-  * Rorqual mining is an activity that scales very well. There's very little difference in effort needed to run a single Rorqual as opposed to running several, and is an activity that encourages multiboxing. 
-  * Rorqual mining can yield, at its peak, around 160m isk/hr, per Rorqual. The startup costs are high, but the payback period is very short, and is an activity that requires virtually no input once it's begun, in either isk or clicks. 
-  * Brave holds some of the 'safest' space in Nullsec for capital industrial activities, meaning that you have a very good opportunity to become an expert at all the associated mechanics. 
- 
-==== Minimum Requirements ==== 
- 
-Like all capital ship activities, you will be expected to provide your own cyno alts. The **bare minimum** skills required before being accepted into the Cap Group as a Rorqual pilot are as follows: 
- 
-  * Jump Drive Calibration IV 
-  * Invulnerability Core Operation IV 
-  * Industrial Reconfiguration I 
-  * The ability to use "'Excavator' Mining Drones" or "'Excavator' Ice Harvesting Drones" 
- 
-Having a working microphone and being able to use Mumble comm, as well as our Slack ping services is also a minimuim requirement. Set those up according to the instructions [[:public:dojo:wiki:communication-resources|here]] 
- 
-Additionally, while not a requirement, a FAX alt is recommended. This comes down to herd immunity, so the more pilots training or having FAX alts on standby, the better. 
- 
- 
-==== How to apply ==== 
- 
-In order to engage in Rorqual Mining in Brave space, you must be a member of the Cap group. In order to apply to the cap group, follow this link, and add all Rorqual pilots. [[https://join.bravecollective.com/capitals]]
